networking and the restaurant industry w/ head of eng, seth alexander
guest: seth alexander, head of engineering
- skills from restaurant management like talking to upset customers and juggling priorities transfer directly into tech and project management
- long-term networking pays off years later so stay in touch with former coworkers even after you change jobs or industries
- joining a group chat with former coworkers after a layoff can provide job leads, salary info, and emotional support
- pick a few meetups or slack and discord communities and show up consistently instead of spreading yourself across many
- when you connect with someone after a podcast or meetup, include one line about why you want to connect so it is memorable
